“OMG Lydia but that’s just gossip stop being so mean to my Cully wully!!1!” In a close-knit community like the Circle, there’s no way Cullen’s interest would go unnoticed. In Witch Hunt, mages will comment on how creepy he was, insinuating it wasn’t even just Surana he was making uncomfortable. So no, it wasn’t just those two mages, and it’s not based on your interactions with him. The very first thing you overhear after waking up and talking with Jowan is two mages gossiping about your Harrowing, and alluding that Cullen has an interest in your character.
His interest in you depends on your dialogue choices. Gross.Īs to why his obsession–to quote Leliana–is not cute or innocent… I’m so glad we have at least one character who sees through his bullshit.Ĭullen, even though recognizing himself that it’s something Leliana does not want to talk about, presses her again. Jim: “Y-you make him nervous. ‘Her eyes, stared into my soul.’” I will arrange for him to be called away at the last minute. Jim: “He, ‘doesn’t have time for a tea party.’” Leliana: “What? Tell him he must! I cannot be distracted at the moment, and I don’t want Josephine’s feelings hurt.” Jim: “Commander Cullen will not be attending this week’s interlude.” Honestly, Leliana’s dislike of Cullen gives me life. Leliana: “Tell him to drop it! I am not going to discuss what she was like!” Jim: “I-I don’t know, I’m just the messenger!”
Leliana: “I thought this obsession was over! Has he been drinking?” In ambient dialogue between Leliana and a messenger, she has this to say about a letter from Cullen, in a clearly distressed/angered tone: And he and Leliana are not “old friends.” Thank goodness he has enough awareness to not press further though, right? Leliana is also clearly uncomfortable with this.
(And let me tell you, my Surana certainly did have a lot to say, but it was nothing good.) If he really was truly interested in anything beyond that, as if “just old friends talking,” the requirements to get this comment wouldn’t be that Leliana was romanced. Either that or he’s interested in their intimate relationship, which is just as invasive. It is at least alluded that the ‘did she ever’ is in response to his relationship with her if she ever mentioned him. Onward, as that is the worlstate.) Except it’s really not. Now, many people have argued that aww, how cute of him,Ĭhecking in on Surana! (I will be exclusively using Surana from this point Cullen’s obsession with Amell/Surana is not aīefore this conversation even happens, an early wartableīanter between Cullen and Leliana goes as follows:Ĭullen: “Was she… I mean… did she ever…?”Ĭullen: “I, uh, no! That would be, uh, inappropriate.” Cullen’s obsession withĪmell/Surana is not healthy.
Too bad you’ll retract it the minute you need a reason templars should continue existing.Ĭullen’s obsession with Amell/Surana is not cute. With just an elderly mage, another grey warden, and an ex bard by her side. Which meant I get to hear some great content from Cullen.Ĭongrats Cullen for admitting that the templars did jack shit (actually making things worse) in Kinloch and that it was the HoF who solved it. So, in the worldstate I used for this playthrough, Surana
